2018 Kia Stinger 4dr Hatch

turbocharged 365hp 3.3L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD

980 mi This vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for the same issue. The rear hatch continues to make a groaning sound when on uneven roads. Two TSBs have been applied and I have been told that this time the problem has been resolved. Also, the headlights were badly misaligned and that problem has also been corrected.
